| Ah you mean the crooked tails.. yes, they are visible now when the tails aren't docked. But they do not need to be so because of an injury, it might be hereditary state. Earlier the tails were docked and the "problem" was gone. But as the tail is a part of the spine... if there is a problem in the tail, there might be a problem in the spine, too... earlier you just didn't notice it because the tail wasn't there. Now a crook in the tail is considered a feature that needs to be taken into consideration in breeding. We had a docked yorkie before. Of course the undocked tail seemed off and odd before I got used to it. Now I like it a lot as long as it is beautifully carried |

| I do the tails and dew claws by myself. My husband did them the first 8 years and one day I had a litter that needed to be done and he was not home so I decided to do them myself. It was really easy to me. When I cut the dewclaws most act like they can hardly feel it. They cry some with the tail docking but not for very long. Using the Clotisol makes all the difference in the world. |

| i did Niecy's dews and tail.......i left her tail a little longer than the standard for a standard yorkie though........and this is why............i look at things differently than alot.........so i figured..........she is half yorkie/half biewer.......she is a splitter.......to be a mate with my splitter boy Smokey.......so i figured with her being half i would dock half........she has the prettiest widdle tail already.........and she carries it high just like if you docked it at the normal place........so for all of you who wish your pups had a little bit longer tail....i docked hers about a fourth inch out from the brown instead of right up against it.........so so cute............she bleed a little more with the dews and tail than i was thinking they did....but i think that part of that was that Ally licked them alot and kept them bleeding........but she was fine..........and she is a whiner..........but get this........the little stinker didnt make a sound last night when i gave her her first shot.......go figure........lol........doing the tails and dews is not as hard as most think.....and so much safer.........i could see those with a longer tail having some issues........as Smokey got the long hair of his cause in a door once......not tight but enough for him to squill.....lol..........i call him my curious george......he has to try to figure everything out...so i have to make sure he is not in any type of risky situations all the time...the widdle bugger
